Domaine Luc Faller - the pure expression of the Alsace terroir
Domaine Luc Faller
A family Alsace estate of Itterswiller, four generations, certified organic (2009) and biodynamic. 8.5 ha, all the Alsace grapes. Single-vineyard Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Cuvee Matthias, cremant and Nature cuvees.
A family history rooted in tradition. Located in Itterswiller, a charming wine village south of Strasbourg, Domaine Luc Faller embodies four generations of passion for the vine and the wines of Alsace. In 1989, Luc took over the estate founded by his father Henri Faller, with the will to continue the family work while giving it a vision resolutely turned towards the future and respect for nature.
At the estate, the priority is not quantity but the sincerity of the wine: each cuvee conveys the identity of its terroir, shaped by the winegrower's hand and the rhythm of the seasons.

An exemplary organic and biodynamic viticulture
From the 2000s, Luc and his wife Myriam decided to completely ban chemical products from their vines, with one objective: to bring the soils back to life and preserve the natural balance of the vineyard. This committed approach bears fruit: in 2009, the estate obtained the Organic Farming certification, then moved towards biodynamics, a method that strengthens the vitality of the soils and the expression of the terroir. On a vineyard of 8.5 hectares, each plot is cultivated in a balance between observation, intuition and respect for natural cycles.
A philosophy: authenticity, precision and innovation
While Luc remains faithful to the Alsace tradition, he does not hesitate to explore new paths: Nature cuvees, with no added sulphites, for total aromatic purity; a Riesling in Vendanges Tardives, vibrant with balance between sugar and freshness; and barrel ageings that bring depth and texture to the white wines.
The emblematic cuvees of Domaine Luc Faller
Riesling Fronholz & Riesling Fruehmess

Two exceptional single vineyards that express the finesse and tension of the king grape of Alsace: minerality, precision and fine length, in biodynamics.

AOC Alsace - Gewurztraminer
Opulent and aromatic, it reveals notes of rose and candied fruits: a great Alsace white, generous and expressive.
Cuvee Matthias - Riesling Vendanges Tardives
AOC Alsace Vendanges Tardives - Riesling
A great wine for keeping, of rare elegance and superb aromatic complexity, where sugar and freshness balance with precision.
